It's Like Botox For Your Blog....

First

Isn't she pretty? All pink and romantic. It even has a catchy phrase at the top now that - amazingly enough - pertains to WRITING. Which, hey, that's what I'm all about.

So, this great free blogger template is courtesy of www.suckmylolly.com (go ahead, you know you want to click it to see if it really brings up blog templates or something else...). This site has a wonderful selection of retro style templates that I absolutely ADORE. The only draw back for me is that you lose some of the great widget functions so you have to know some HTML.

And isn't it just a damn shame that I just gave away my HTML textbook from 1997? Seriously.

Second

I watched 3:10 to Yuma today. If you know my husband, you know he loves three things:

1. Martial Arts
2. Hunting
3. Westerns

Somewhere down that list comes me and the girls...

SO, we settle in to watch, him with a beer, me with my laptop. The conversation with DD went like this:

DD: What's this movie?
me: 3:10 to Yuma
DD: What's it about?
me: (after a long pause and a hard stare) It's a western.
DD: What's it about?
me: (another long pause and hard stare) I don't know. I think it's a remake.
DD: What's it called?
me: (contemplating bodily harm) 3:10 to Yuma.
DD: (looks confused, then defeated) Ah, hell.

This is a normal conversation between us. He expects me to know everything, but he never listens to a word I say. Not that I mind. This has been our relationship for 11 years.

So for the next two hours or so, I work on my book and my blog while ignoring the movie while DD is steadily throwing out discrepancies between this 3:10 to one of the other 3:10's (is there even more than one??).

He's suppose to be old. This isn't how the other one started. Where's the whore? Who's this guy? Who's in this movie? Oh, him. Why are there kids? There were no kids in the other one. He's not supposed to die.

I do not kid.

And, yes, Hollywood did it again. They killed off one of the good guys. Bastards. Not that I particularly care, but felt I should mention this because DD was disturbed by it. He does not understand artistic interpretation. If it was done one way, it shall be done that way for all eternity. DD law.

So, tomorrow night its 'The assignination of Jesse James by the coward Bob Ford'. Which by the way has to be one of the longest movie titles in history. I'm telling you right now, if he ruins my two hours of quality time with Brad Pitt, he's in big, BIG trouble. I'm just sayin'.
